User Experience

Usability: One of the great aspects of solar lights or solar lanterns is just how easy they are to use. They can simply be left in the sun to get to work and you don’t have to worry about adding any additional power to the device but that is dependent on sunlight.

One potential issue with this product is that reliance on sunlight. While there is USB charging available, you probably won’t want to keep taking the string lights down to charge them is you have them hung up in a permanent spot.

Given that these lights can be left out in the sunlight all day before being used, that is an issue that is very rarely going to be a problem, if ever. You probably won’t even need to place the lights in a prominent position if you are only using them on the weekend, your example.

Overall, the usability of these lights is very high as if you have them in a permanent spot, you’re probably not going to ever have to take them down to charge and if you are on a camping trip, they will last for long enough to not have to worry about any additional charging.

Practicality: These lights have a high level of practicality which is aided by the compact size of the lights. They would be a great part of your camping gear as it would easily fit into your backpacking backpack with the rest of the gear that you needed.

The low weight of the device also makes it very easy to hand up without having to worry about the solar device dragging them down. It also makes it very easy to install and you won’t be straining when you are trying to put them up.

The panels also have a great level of efficiency and will be fully charged again in 12-14 hours of direct sunlight. That means that it should never really be without power, even if you are using them every night for a few hours.

The reason for that is due to the fact that the solar lights are able to last for up to 10 hours on a low setting and therefore you won’t be running them flat unless you forget to switch them off and leave them operating.

You also have the life that LED lights can provide too as these are lights that are going to last for the lifetime of the product and won’t need replacing. They are also durable and won’t break easily when compared to other lights.

Overall, the practicality of this product is extremely high and very impressive. It has three light modes to give you different setting depending on your needs with a battery level indicator to show you when you’re due to run out of juice.

Another great aspect in regards to the usability of this product it the fact that it can charge phones (or any USB device) too. While it isn’t effective as a permanent solution, it can give you some extra life when you are in an emergency situation. There are great solar chargers available for a more permanent solution.

Uses: This product is clearly going to be useful in a wide range of different situation, from sitting in your wonderfully lit patio area under your patio heater or you may want to have them in addition to your solar pool lights to have a beautiful outdoor area.

Given their usability, they could be used in a number of different outdoor activities and could even be used for backyard decoration if your simple wanted to make the place look more appealing. The high level of water resistance that they have makes them very appealing.

Of course, they could be equally great away from the home. Camping is a perfect example of a place where you would want a light source that doesn’t require power from an outlet. These solar lights are going to be able to give you that light on every night of your adventure.

It could be that you have your own plans in mind whether that is a wedding, beach party, hot tub lighting or something entirely different. You could find yourself getting a few of these lights as you find even more uses for them.

Pros:

Great light modes

Long-lasting light

High level of efficiency

Resistant to dust and water

Portable size

Cons:

Dependency on light
